Help Us Provide A New Future To A Single Mom Raising Her Kids In A Garbage Dump

When we found Antonia, she was living in a shack in a garbage dump in Nicaragua.

But you can't even call it a shack.

Walls made of worn out plastic tarps. A mud floor. A cardboard ceiling struggling to keep out the tropical rains.

Antonia and her three children sleep on what's left of a mattress - just exposed springs with a blanket over them. It's not a bed, but it keeps them off the ground, where the snakes, bugs, and scorpions creep at night.

Antonia doesn't have parents or relations to help her. She has no husband. The government is starving their people into submission. There are no social programs. The churches are basically helpless to fight poverty.

Foraging for food and clothes in the sweltering, rancid garbage dump of Nicaragua!

That's not living. It's surviving.

The name Antonia means "priceless," "praiseworthy," and "beautiful." This dear, sweet mother of three is just that. She is amazing, strong, and resilient. She wants better for her children.

Just a few months ago, Antonia became one of the 2,000 moms who have received a permanent concrete block house that will be their home for generations. She and her kids have hope now. They have a place to build a future. They can focus on learning the skills to build a life away from the garbage dump.

But there are still thousands of mothers just like Antonia, still living in the dumps of some of the poorest places on earth, like Central America, the Caribbean, India, and SubSaharan Africa.

Still hunting for food and clothes each morning when the dump trucks come in. Still praying that someday, someone will help them get a home.

Still crying as they put their babies to bed. Still trying not to give up hope.
